Norm 22.06 has come into effect and is here to stay.
Helmets essentially undergo stricter tests, both in terms of impact type and quantity of impacts.
The Origine brand has always been a benchmark in mid-range helmet safety. It's difficult to find helmets that are as safe at such prices. That's why 22.05 models can pass the 22.06 certification with minimal modifications. Hence, there are Strada, Primo, Vega, Alpha, Palio, and Delta models with both 22.05 and 22.06 certification.
The differences in the helmets are minimal, mainly a slightly increased weight due to reinforcement in key areas. This means that the VISORS ORIGINE HELMET and ORIGINE HELMET MECHANISMS are the same in both 22.06 and 22.05 models.
However, there have been significant variations in the interiors, and the interiors of ORIGINE HELMET inner paddings E22.05 DO NOT FIT in E22.06 models.
On the back of the helmet, there is a sticker that indicates whether the helmet is E2205 or E2206; check it to know your exact model. If the sticker is not present, please contact us, and to expedite the process, send us a photo of the white label with numbers and letters sewn near the chin strap buckle of the helmet.
